Also known as the Song of Solomon, a section of the Bible that is decidedly one of the most erotic, sensuous works of poetry that anybody can find.
It's one of the "scrolls" (megillot) of the Writings (Ketuvim), the last section of the Hebrew Bible. It is also the fifth book of Wisdom in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible.
The whole structure and plot is that of a pair of lovers from courtship to marriage to consummation is a celebration of erotic love. While it can be argued that it's a metaphor for the union between Yahweh and the land of Israel (or that between Christ and the Church), it's just as likely very seductive romantic poetry.

The "Song of Songs" features such gems as these:
"...She:
Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest
is my beloved among the young men.
I delight to sit in his shade,
and his fruit is sweet to my taste.
Let him lead me to the banquet hall,
and let his banner over me be love.
Strengthen me with raisins,
refresh me with apples,
for I am faint with love..."
"He:
...How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride!
How much more pleasing is your love than wine,
and the fragrance of your perfume
more than any spice!
Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride;
milk and honey are under your tongue.
The fragrance of your garments
is like the fragrance of Lebanon.
You are a locked garden, my sister, my bride;
you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain...
She:
Awake, north wind,
and come, south wind!
Blow on my garden,
that its fragrance may spread everywhere.
Let my beloved come into his garden
and taste its choice fruits..."
"...He:
How beautiful your sandaled feet,
O prince’s daughter!
Your graceful legs are like jewels,
the work of an artist’s hands.
Your navel* is a rounded goblet
that never lacks blended wine.
Your waist is a mound of wheat
encircled by lilies.
Your breasts are like two fawns,
like twin fawns of a gazelle..."
*The "navel" translation is interesting since, in the original Hebrew, he seems to be describing her vulva.

Son-(reading under his breath) With breasts like towers...
Mother-What are you reading, young man? That type of book is not allowed in this house.
Son-The Bible. Song of Songs.
Mother-Oh. Well, go watch VeggieTales instead. **Jerks Bible away**

The Song of songs or commonly known as the song of solomon is a beautifly well written book written in the old testament or what jewish people refer to as the Torah. It was written by Solomon King of Israel to his soon to be wife the Queen of Sheba.

The best person on earth. Most likely a nickname for an Asian girl. She is one of the funniest people you will ever meet. A song song is probably outgoing, beautiful, bougie, either a Scorpio, Capricorn, or a Pisces. A song song is goofy, but mature when she wants to be. Also is she very smart! If you know a song song, she's a keeper, don't ever let her go.
She's such a song song.

The team acquired that player, who was like a 4th or 5th draft pick, for a song but he proved himself after a couple of seasons and eventually helped them win the championship.

1. "Dr. Worm" by They Might Be Giants is a briliant song!
2. I got two ancient 8 bit Nintendos at my neighbor's garage sale for a song.
